Been reading other forums and the swiss don't have much confidence in their keeper. seems he's made a few howlers in the last 3 games. Lets pepper the goal ealry on and test this guy. Morrison should give him a few digs whilst attacking some crosses - at least let him know he's in a game!!!
Be careful guys you could easily get arrested for "breach of the peace" and miss the game.
hillarious stuff:D I have just images of turning up with a few of those big cow bells that they use out there, boxes of triangle choclate, inflatable heidi's and that kind of thing.Quote:

I cant see a proper protest being made though.
I was reading the swiss football website and it was mentioning that the team has arrived in dublin and were in good form but it was visible how tired they all looked/felt... This along with the absence of senderos (?) could play into our hands
has anyone other forums with the swiss point of view

Dunne injury scare
RICHARD Dunne picked up a knock during Ireland's training session on Tuesday - but the defender should recover in time to face Switzerland.
Dunne suffered a bang on the thigh ahead of the Republic's crucial World Cup qualifier and had to pull out of the session early.
Manager Brian Kerr, however, is confident the City defender will shake off the problem in time for the Lansdowne Road clash.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...!
cry if robbie, given or andy reid get injured
the rest there are workarounds
..meant that from the point of view of cry that he might be passed fit....utter sarcasm!!!
Is this the same Swiss team that beat Cyprus at home with an 88th minute winner, that didn't beat Israel in either of its two games and that drew with us in Basel. Answer = yes. They are no better or worse than us. We're at home. They're away. We should win. We won't be rolled over.Quote:

People here hop on the bandwagon to easily, yes we are playing some rubbish at the moment, but it has to end sometime and there is no question we have better players than the swiss, so what it comes down to is hunger and desire in my opinion! they dont have yakin and from what i have seen hes a far more important player for them than either Duff or Keane is for us! We have 4 key players they have one and they have lost him! He has scored against 3 against us in our last 3 games, so atleast they have a key player out too. But i have to be honest, i would rather lose to England than the Swiss again, if they qualify at our expense again just because we were unlucky (i.e the israelis twice) and our form is out i will not be a happy camper!
WTF is going on with Kerr's training regieme. Its like a rugby session out there:p
I think he will be ok. There isnt much more training to be done now.

wish i could say that this fact could placate any fears, our crowd is reputedly w*nk and seems altogether too fickle from my time with ireland on the box this campaign.. the 15000 in cyprus didn't seem to press home our advantage in that department, if anything the moans of disapproval likely transmitted anxiety to the players and look what happened. when was the last decent home atmosphere, holland in 01? unfortunate if true, i think we have lo$t a little of what it means to be irish..Quote:

I realise its not very likely at all considering its Kerr and the lad is unproven at this level and even at the level he is playing at but he is on form. So at some stage I would like to see Kevin Doyle get a run for atleast 10minutes. You don't have to be Shevchenko to to be able to put in an impressive 10mins against the Swiss backline. It would be a risk of course but if the situation calls for it, go for it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. He plays at the same level as Clinton and is feeling like a worldbeater I would imagine with his journey so far this season.
The rest of the team picks itself really, a player here a player there, its a much of a muchness. If say Holland comes in for Kav or whatever its more a case of that he is less likely to lose the match for us than to be the difference between the sides.
So anyhow come 78mins if we need it I'll be hoping for Doyle on for Robbie.
Come on Brian go out on a limb, afterall thats where the best fruit is.
I have a very strong dislike of the Swiss on account of their treatment of us on more than one occasion. I've been looking forward to this from the off and despite our atroscious form at least a win will get us a play-off place. I'm sure some of our players will also remember them, Graham Kavanagh anyone? I'll be there ready to give them a real Lansdowne welcome. It's gonna be close!
fair enought they should have believe in themselves BUT i think they are slightly too overoptimistic - my heart will be doing cartwheels and i will probably regret saying this but i hope its 0-0 with about 25 mins to go - then I have NO soubt the swiss will camp inside their own half and hopefully we will have a slice of luck
Beautiful. I really, really hope this happens - I don't care if it's wrong!Quote:

They are not arrogant.They are confident,thats the difference between us and them. Going to their hotel and banging drums and making a racked is so F*cking childish.ffs grow up and save it for the game if you are going.
I hate em with serious passion...Winning would be so so good but losing would be really awful. Banging drums at them sure its childish but why not.
